Ecological Governance

This paper indicates how the knowledge of complex systems can be put into practice to counter climate change. A contribution of the paper is to show how individual behaviour, institutional analysis, political science and management can be grounded and integrated into the complexity of natural systems to introduce mutual sustainability. Bytes are used as the unit of analysis to explain how nature governs complexity on a more reliable and comprehensive basis than can be achieved by humans using markets and hierarchies. Tax incentives are described to increase revenues while encouraging organisations to adopt elements of ecological governance found in nature and in some social organisations identified by Ostrom and the author. Ecological corporations provide benefits for all stakeholders. This makes them a common good to promote global common goods like enriching democracy from the bottom up while countering: climate change, pollution, and inequalities in power, wealth and income.

Ecological Governance

As the participants and stakeholders of rural ecological governance, the evaluation of farmers’ satisfaction plays an important role in improving the performance of government ecological governance. Based on the criteria of ecological civilization construction and customer satisfaction, this paper constructs an evaluation system of farmers’ ecological governance satisfaction, which includes 34 indicators. Factor analysis is used to classify indicators, and IPA model is used to analyze the ecological governance plates that affect satisfaction. The research shows that the comprehensive satisfaction of rural ecological governance farmers in four towns of Changde City, Hunan Province is 3.6, which is basically recognized by farmers. The factors that farmers’ demand is strong but does not meet the expectations are sewage treatment, chemical fertilizer and pesticide pollution treatment, ecological legal system implementation, government investment and other indicators. The evaluation section of restriction satisfaction mainly focuses on ecological environment, institutional culture and infrastructure, and finally puts forward suggestions from three aspects: ecological environment, infrastructure and farmers’ sense of participation.

This chapter examined the link between ecological governance and water conservation as sustainable pathways for enhancing rural livelihoods in the Savannah Region. Designs adopted were post-positivist and cross-sectional. Probability sampling techniques were used to sample 450 household and official respondents. Questionnaires were administered, while descriptive statistics and chi-square test were utilised to analyse the data. Findings showed significant relationship between conservation initiatives, finance, rehabilitation/maintenance, and gender inclusion and domestic water conservation. Therefore, with commitment to maintenance, funding, and gender inclusion in water decisions, there is the likely for water to be locally sustainable in rural communities of the region. Democratic, decentralised, and participatory approaches to ecological governance and empowerment of the local communities are recommended as essential preconditions for achieving ecologically self-governing communities and sustaining domestic water systems in the rural areas of the region.
